From f9279d9947c7a1d3d5d9aebe10484c27a6b1d9a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mahesh Bandewar Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2017 14:40:23 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "ipvlan: add L2 check for packets arriving via virtual devices" This reverts commit ace92d0493bf082fb9eb1ada579746a8de9c45d8. Even though the check added is not that taxing, it's not really needed. First of all this will be per packet cost and second thing is that the eth_type_trans() already does this correctly. The excessive scrubbing in IPvlan was changing the pkt-type skb metadata of the packet which made it necessary to re-check the mac. The subsequent patch in this series removes the faulty packet-scrub. Signed-off-by: Mahesh Bandewar Signed-off-by: David S.
